C quick reference cheat sheet that provides basic syntax

1. Structure of a C Program
A C program is generally presented in the following form:

pre-processor directives #include <iostream> Algorithm exo;


global declarations using namespace std; constant PI = 3.14;
const float PI = 3.14; Variable S : int;
main() int main() begin
{ {
print( "Hello world" );
local variable deceleration int S ;
statement sequences cout<<" Hello world ";
} return 0;
End.
}

Syntax of Algorithmic Language vs. C Language


Algorithmic Language C Language
Types int, real, char, Boolean int, float, char, Bool
Variables Variable idfs : Type ; Type idfs ;
Declaration Example: Variable x, y, z: int; Example: int x, y, z;

Relational Operator < > <= >= = <> < > <= >= == !=

logic Operator Or and not ||(alt+6) && !

Operator arithmetic + - * / % DIV + - * / %


Assignment  =
Statements
Input Read(list of variables); cin>>variable1 >> variable2;
Example : Read(x,y) ; Example: cin>>x >> y;
Output print("text",expression, variable); cout<<"text" << variable <<expression
Example : Print(" x= ", x, " y", y); Example : cout<<"x= " <<x <<" y= "<<y;

Code block<Begin , <Begin , End> {….}
